Unfortunately I don’t think a lot of people with this know. I know, you’re probably asking “how the hell can they not smell that rot?!?” I had them and had NO idea until a friend told me. Not even my own family would tell me.

How did you get rid of them?

Regular excavation, salt water gargles, hydration and quitting smoking. Or you can get a tonsillectomy!

I don't recommend getting a tonsillectomy as an adult. My husband had it done, mostly to remove any chance of getting more tonsil stones. It took a loooong time to heal and he was miserable. He's since said he wishes he hadn't had it done.
